According to New Vision newspaper, the angry politician has been revealed as Patrick Okumu-Ringa, Ugandan's former public service state minister.

Reacting angrily to a defeat in a recent parliamentary by-election, Okumu-Ringa had reportedly embarked on the dismantling of the boreholes in his constituency for three days.

It was also reported that Okumu-Ringa, who had once represented Padyere County as a member of the parliament, had sunk the boreholes, which have supplied water to the residents, free of charge, for over 20 years.
